| CAPTIVE - BREEDING | Wildlife experts may attempt to restore the population of a species through _______-_______ programs. |
| REINTRODUCING | These programs involve breeding species in captivity, with the hopes of ________ populations to their natural habitats. |
| CONDORS | This type of program has been used successfully with the Californian ______, for example. But the question remains whether or not these restored populations will ever reproduce in the wild. |
| GENETIC | One way to save the essence of a species is by preserving its ______ material. |
| BANKS | Germ-plasm _____ store germ plasm in controlled environments for future use in research or species-recovery efforts. |
| ZOOS | In some cases, ___ now house the few remaining members of a species and are perhaps the species' last hope for survival. |
| AQUARIUMS | Zoos, wildlife parks, ________, and botanical gardens, are living museums of the worlds biodiversity. |
| RARELY | But, these kinds of facilities ____have enough resources or knowledge to preserve more than a fraction of the world's rare and threatened species. |
| DOES LITTLE | Ultimately, saving a few individuals ______ _______ to preserve a species as captive species may not reproduce or survive again in the wild. |
| DISEASES | Also, small populations are vulnerable to infectious _____ and genetic disorders caused by inbreeding. |
| LAST | Conservationists hope that these strategies are a ___ resort to save species. |
| HABITATS | The most effective way to save species is to protect their _________. |
| DISASTER | Small plots of land for a single population is usually not enough because a species confined to a small area could be wiped out a single natural _______. While other species require a large range to find adequate food. |
| LARGE | Therefore, protecting the habitats of endangered and threatened species often means preserving or managing ____ areas. |
| ENTIRE | Most conservationists now give priority to protecting ______ ecosystems rather than individual species. |
| MOST | By doing this, we may be able to save _____ of the species in an ecosystems instead of only the ones that have been identified as endangered. |
| PUBLIC | The general _______ has how begun to understand that Earth's biosphere depends on all its connected ecosystems. |
| STRATEGIES | While conservationists focus on the hotspots discussed earlier to protect biodiversity worldwide, they also support additional ________. |
| NATIVE | One strategy is to identify areas of ______ habitat that can be preserved, restored, and linked into large networks. |
| PRODUCTS | Another promising strategy is to promote ___________ that have been harvested with sustainable practices. |
| SERIOUS | Conservationists emphasize the urgent need for more ________ of the working of species and ecosystems, |
| 1973 | For example, in ___, the U.S. Congress pass the Endangered Species Act. |
| ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT | The _______ _____ _________ is designed to protect any plant or animal species in danger or extiinction. |
| BIODIVERSITY TREATY | The ________ __________ is an international agreement aimed at strengtheining national control and preservation of biological resources. |
| PRIVATE | Many ________ organizations work to protect species worldwide, often more effectively than government agencies. |
